Skylar shook her head. She grew up seeing Meredith betting.
Although Meredith would only put in a small amount of money, it was still enough to make her feel happy, but
Skylar was the complete opposite.
She had never played card games before, but Tobias was fixed on getting her to try.
“It’s okay. I’ll pay if you lose, and you can keep the money if you win.”
His offer sounded tempting, but Skylar felt it would not be nice to take advantage of him so blatantly.
“Don’t force her if she doesn’t want to. We still need help in the kitchen. All the ingredients are ready. We’ve got
some meat, eggs, flour, beans, and some vegetables. You guys can go generous on the meat since Tobias is a
meat-eater,” Claudia said, patting Tobias on the shoulder, “Why don’t you guys make something different? What
about some dumplings?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSkylar knew in her heart that Claudia did not like both Winnie and her, else she would not throw them a difficult
task.
Although she was still polite to them on the surface, Skylar knew Claudia disliked her from the very beginning.
Things were even worse for Winnie. She ordered some food over and lied that she prepared them herself last time.
She tried really hard to get on Claudia’s good side, but all her efforts were futile.
Skylar squeezed Tobias’ hands and got ready to go to the kitchen. “I’ll go help out in the kitchen. You have fun.”
Skylar was dumbstruck when she entered the kitchen. The space was much more capacious than most rooms in
most places.
Not long after they got in, Winnie leaned against the fridge and started complaining. “Why do I have to cook? I have
no idea how to do that. Why not you just do everything on your own?”
Skylar gave her an indifferent shrug. “Well, it’s not like I know how to. You think of a way to solve the problem.”
Winnie was getting nervous. “They are still waiting to eat outside, so you’d better do something!” She raised her
voice as if she was giving an order.
“Why not you spend some money and get food delivered? It’s not gonna take a long time anyway.”
Winnie’s eyes shone sinisterly. That’s doable. There are so many servants here anyway. No one will realize if there’s
a delivery man.
She pulled out her phone and contacted a chef from the nearest hotel while Skylar started surfing the net for
tutorials.
“Are you really gonna cook? Please don’t say I made that food later on. Don’t even dream about saying you’re the
one who cooked the delicious food I ordered.”
“Well, just do whatever you want.”
Skylar cut everything and mixed them together before wrapping them patiently, although the dumplings’ shape

The chef Winnie hired arrived in no time. He worked diligently and also made some dumplings.
Meanwhile, Winnie sat on one side and started going through Twitter. She was furious when she found out that
topics about Skylar were getting more public attention compared to her.
Her anger was not unfounded. She was Skylar’s senior, and as a rookie, Skylar had not acted in a lot of movies, but
she had gained a lot of popularity.
Therefore, Winnie really looked down on Skylar. In her opinion, Skylar had nothing more than just a pretty face.
Ring! Winnie’s phone rang and she went out to talk just as Skylar was checking the time.
Skylar seized the chance and approached the chef, who was busy preparing food.
“How much did she pay you to come over?”
The man’s face was flushed the moment he looked at Skylar in the eyes. This was the first time he had seen
someone so attractive.
“Three hundred,” he muttered.
“I’ll give you one thousand five hundred to do something for me. That’s five times her price.”
